Identification of
Grasses, Sedges and Rushes @ High Beach Centre

Saturday-Sunday 16 & 17th
June. Non-residential £90

Do you find grass
identification bewildering, intimidating or frustrating? Bit vague on rushes and
sedges? On this two-day course novices will start to understand the structure of
these flowering plants, whilst those with prior knowledge can master
identification techniques for surveying. A wide variety of habitats will be
visited with lots of key work guidance to identify different species.

This one day course covers
the identification of the higher plants of salt marsh and saline dyke habitats
and the zonation of salt marsh vegetation. Participants will be investigating
the extensive salt marshes surrounding Wat Tyler Country Park using keys and
expert guidance to identify plant species found.
